Need and Use of Information Collection:
The purpose of this proposal is to inform data requestors about terms and conditions for using data stored in the NIDA Data Share System, and to obtain signed agreements from requestors and their institutional officials attesting to their commitment to abide by the data use terms and conditions. These include using data for research purposes; adhering to human subjects research requirements; not distributing the data to non-authorized users; minimizing risk of participant identifiability; using data ethically and responsibly; and keeping the data secure. Recipients must include a brief description of their research project and submit their signed data use agreements to the data repository to gain access to Data Share data.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 127.
